About the author

Born Edward Terence Casey in San Francisco on September 29, 1894, he was an American writer active in the pulp-magazine era. Reliable reference sources note that he died in Marin Heights, California, on July 30, 1945.

Casey is most often discussed together with his brother Patrick Casey, a frequent collaborator. The two brothers wrote adventure fiction and other popular tales for magazines, and they also published novels together, including The Wolf-Cub. Science-fiction reference works also note that the Casey brothers sometimes used the joint pseudonym Lee Tempest for some of their nonfantastic adventure writing.

Though not as widely known today as some of their contemporaries, the Casey brothers built a lively reputation as energetic storytellers who started publishing young and worked across the fast-moving magazine fiction world of the early 20th century. Terence Casey’s legacy survives mainly through those collaborations, which still attract readers interested in pulp adventure and early popular fiction.
